Sushant Singh Rajput's death: Sonam, Sonakshi, Zaira slam people spreading negativity

Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Zaira Wasim, and many others slammed people who were spreading negativity and hate over Sushant Singh Rajput's tragic death. The 'Kedarnath' actor breathed his last on June 14.

Sonakshi Sinha on her Instagram story wrote, "The problem with wrestling with pigs is that you get dirty and the pig enjoys it. To certain people trying to garner publicity and highlight THEIR issues using the death of a member of our fraternity...PLEASE just stop. Your spewing negativity, hate and toxicity is really not required right now. Have some respect for the departed. Really." [sic]

Sonam Kapoor on her Twitter handle wrote, "Blaming a girlfriend, ex-girlfriend, family, colleagues for someone’s death is ignorant and mean spirited."

According to a source, only close family members and select friends from the industry were allowed to go inside the crematorium in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
